Around the world each night, parents tell stories to children as they put them to bed. Margaret Read MacDonald, a folklorist, storyteller, and children's librarian, uses bedtime tales in the daytime to end her story hours on a calm note. Here, with accompaniment on dulcimer and autoharp by musician Richard Scholtz, she includes seven of her favorites from around the world including: The Old Woman Who Lived in a Vinegar Bottle (British Isles), Snow Bunting's Lullaby (Siberia), Chin Chin Kobokama (Japan), Grand is the Evening Sea (Japan), Kanji-jo, The Nestlings (Liberia), The Playground of the Sun and Moon (Argentina and Chile), and Counting Sheep.
